100% if that country is in northern Europe. Hard nope if it's in South America.

I'd buy a ticket tomorrow if there was a job for me in a Scandinavian country and I didn't need to speak the language immediately.

Ireland is calling you. Cost of living is high but check it out.

Not wanting to learn a language of the country you live in, is kinda asocial tbh

Scandinavia is awesome. People in the US doesn't even understand how good it is. Work is not taken 100% seriously here. You work a little bit between 9 and 16 but not too much. Get some stuff done but no stress to finish everything you are supposed to do.

Not much stress. Most enterprise companies spend a lot of time on how employees are feeling instead of productivity. Because big companies are always doing fine, and they understand that people are not machines.

We sometimes are motivated, sometimes not. In the USA it doesn't seem that is understood, and if it is, their solution is to punish the worker for not being motivated. :)

And in the US, the workers get mad and then there's civil war and other stupid stuff

Classism is probably the biggest problem in the world. You wouldn't abuse your workers if you were friends with one of them
